Title: AAZ question?' small cylinder on top of valve cover
Post by: allsierra123 on March 30, 2009, 03:16:49 pm

There is a small cylinder on the top of the valve cover It has two hoses coming out of it one goes to the block the other goes to the air intake hose with some sort of sensor type thing that plugs into it. Any idea what this might be And how I go about getting rid of it? Or if I can get rid of it.

Should I leave it be or is there any advantage to ditching the hoses?

Sory to hijack here, but on an AAZ, how important is the front breather? The SB that was in the car origonaly had a blanking plate over the breather

 when you say it was an upgrade, is it an emissions thing?
